A Cure for IrritabiIity.

Mrs. Margaret E. Sangster, in an
open letter to her Irritable sist er, y
published in the Interior, thinks that
one practical way to begin reform is
absolutely to refuse expression to the
peevish feeling. She adds:
We are not always able to control
the impetuous rush of emotion, but we
can repress the hasty speech, and the
severe frown. We can be silent, in
the first flush of injured feeling, and
refrain from the sharp word, the quer-
ulous outcry, and the indignant burst,
of which we are sure to repent. Have
we not repented over and over of hav-
ing spoken impatiently, when to do so
did no good, in fact, did but confuse
child or servant, or vex the heart of
our friend
Apart from the repression of resent
ment, in look or word, we may do
much toward the cultivation of gem
tie and not easily perturbed temper,
by using habitually gentle quietude
of tone. Shall ever forget my friend,
the sweet mistress of Virginia manse,
her health fragile, her family large,
her house Overlooking with guests, and
her hands with cares, while the best
service at her command was both inn
perfect aud uncertain Her presence
in the book lined study was bene-
dictiOn us we gathered forlfanily pray
ers, or evening chat; nor, under any
provOcatiOn, was the sweet voice ever
raised. So tranquil, SD unhurried,
when | am wearied the remembrance
of her gentleness rests and sOOthes me
STILL
When we have exhausted all our
prescriptions, and tried all our RENE
dies, dear, easily irritated sister, the
one unfailing panacea awaits us. The
leaves of the tree of life are for the
healing of the nations. But we are
often 50 slow to avail ourselves of the
peace we might have for the asking
we SD often buy every thing else before
we go to Him who never fails us when
we carry our wants to His feet.
| think we instinctively run to Him
in the time of calamity or disaster.
Then we cannot help it. The impulse |
dominates us, and as the hurt child
cries out for the mother comfort, we
fly to our Heavenly Friend. But the
children are naughty, the chimney
smokes, there are business worries, |
the servant leaves suddenly, the din
ner is spoiled through somebody's care
lessness, the baby is teething, and we
are worn out; and we call all these
little things, and think we must bear
them alone. They are the very things
in which the Lord is waiting to be our
gracious helper, if we will only carry
them straight to Him, to "drOp the
burden ut His feet, and bear song

Plain Words About Labor.
The Independent Workman.


After all the suffering, misery and
loss inflicted on labor by the strikes of
the past few years, is it not time for
the labOrer and the mechanic to pause
and ask himself if the abOrtive meth
DDS of organized labor, with it's tyran-
nical edicts and it's arbitrary control,
have not inflicted on him more absO
lutte suffering and misery than it has
ever conferred on him benefit-mOre
misery than he ever experienced from
the oppression of united capital 7 New
er before in the history of the world
has any body of civilized men so com
pletely surrendered their personal lib
critics and their personal rights, and
reduced themselves to such IL condition
of abject slavery, as the mechanics and
labOrers of this land have within the
lines of the so called protective unions.
Is it not time that the wOrkngmen of
these United States should rise in their
might and proclaim to the world the
independence of the wOrkingman and
the right of every man to himself and
his own labor, to use that labor as he
will and when he will, unquestioned
by any other man? Is it not time that
he took his own hands, uncontrolled
by councils, unawed by the edicts of
master wOrkmen, unterrifed by the
threats of walking delegates A work
ingman's labor is his capital. In the
use of that capital his individual will
should be supreme; if weak he should
be supported in that right if it took
the whole power of the government to
do it,

An Unprecedented Triumph.

The Sandwich islands are no longer
a mission field. They send missiona-
ries to other islands. Some of their
larger churches have averaged 81 per
member at their annual collections.
The Fyi islands, when visited in 1895,
by missionary, were found to be in
habited by fierce and bloodthirsty
race of canabals. Now where once
their horrid rites were performed, 10O,
600 meet in decent churches to worship
God. In 1850 in the Friendly islands,
there was not Christian. To-day
there are 5000 communicates and 20,
900 worshipers. In 1860 in Madagas
car there were only few hundred flu
gative Christians, now Christianity has
253, 900 adherants. A century ago
Captain Cook brought to light to Poly
nesia with its twelve thousand islands,
heather to the last degree. To-day
they are nearly all clristianized. This
is the result of missionary work, and
still the work goes on. The Christian
church is occupying 10000 mission sta
tons aud $4,000 missionary laborers
are in the foreign field. Christianity
is aggressive. The world is destined
to be won for Christ. The great de-
sire of every Christian heart should be

Electrical Searches for Bullets.
Electrical ReUiew.


When President Garfield was slowly
dying at ElbertOn, and the attending
surgeons were locating the fatal bullet
in spots clear away from where, after
death, it was discovered, an electrical
apparatus was constructed by Prof.
Graham Bell for the purpose of finding
the bit of lead. The failure was ridi-
culed much to the chagrin of Bell and
the doctors. The discovery has since
been made that Garfield lay on me-
tallic mattress, which frustrated the
electricity. Now, under the sanction
of the New York Academy of Medicine,
says the Sun, machine has been con-
structcd and tested. The machine con-
sisted of battery, coils, and other
familiar telegraphic devices, but prin
cipally of thin steel probe connected
with the wires in manner invented
by Bell. The surface of the patient
over an embedded bullet was cocained,
so us to deprive it of feeling. Then
the probe was thrust in. AS the end of
t he steel came within six inches of the
bullet, the surgeon, with his ear to IL
telephone cup, heard IL humming
sound, which grew louder rs the metal
was approached The flesh was iabbed
number of times, and the trial was
regarded as II success. Later IL war
veteran submitted to search for Il
bullet that had entered his chest aud
remained somewhere in him for twenty
years. The needle hummed its way to
the leads hiding place and it was re-
moved. DR.. John III. Girdner, who
operated the instrument, said that its
use would have saved Garfield's life in
all probability.

Thermometers Disagree.
Prairie Farmer.

Three winters ago we hung up in a
row, three inches apart, a dozen Their
mOmeters from the same maker, whose
instruments are widely advertised and
widely sold-perhaps more SO than any
other manufacture except the nameless
sorts. They were arranged in the
same order, now inside the house in
warm room, then in colder one, then
out of doors, during both above and
below zero weather. Result: Those
Instruments, thus exposed tn the same
temperature, varied among themselves
AS much as a dozen degrees, or more.
Hardly any two were alike. The va
riations became most marked us the
mercury descended below the D deg
mark The fact is, few If any of the
common thermometers can be depend
ed upon for correct Indications in the
lower temperatures. When Il Their
mometer is made, the testing which
determines the scale is rarely extended
below the zero point. In fact, down
below zero the temperature marks arc
largely guessed at. the makers suppose
that if the freezing point is, say an

Singular Prenatal Addiction.
HnLrs .LnmrnnL of HenLth.


The infant son of well known citi
zen of Westfield, n. j., though but just
large enough to walk and talk, appears
and acts like an intoxicated person.
The parents were very exemplary
young people, bat for some months
after their marriage the young hus-
band lapsed IL little from the path of
strict temperance. One winters even
ing he went from his home Ostensibly
''to watch with IL sick member of the
village lodge" The trusting wife dis
covered ut nine O'clock that her nus
band had forgotten tO purchase meat
for breakfast and she went to the mar
ket. AS she passed hotel the sound
of mans voice in song came to her
ears. She listened II moment. There
was no installing her husbands voice,
and, scarcely knowing what she did,
she looked in at the bar-rOOm window
and saw her husband there in state
of beastly intoXication. The effect
upon her may well be imagined.
Some time after this a son was born
to the parents-a fine, healthy infant,
bright aud comely. Several months
later, when the child began to walk
and talk, they took him To the family
physician. The little one could not
walk without staggering IN most un-
seemly and ludIcrOus manner, and
could not lisp baby words without IL
strong hiccOugh and hesitation. The
doctor, averring that ifhe had seen such
symptoms in an adult he would have
pronounced them due to intOXicatiOn,
and nothing else with little difficulty
obtained an account of the unfortunate
maternal impression that provoked
the peculiar malady with which the
child is afflicted. No line of medical
treatment could he of use in such a
case, and reluctantly the physician
gave mp the infant boy to endure his
strangely miserable life.
"Fhere Is nothing like cataiepsy
about the case,n the doctor explained.
''There is no healthier child in town.
AS near as | can explain it, the child
has muscles and nerves in that cOndi .
ton of action which its father showed
when the mothers Impression of his
intOXicatiOn WAS received. There are
no fits or commissions, though IL tremOr
is always present. In spite of this fact
there is no mental weakness. There
is no co ordination in the movements
of his lower limbs and the hands are
almost as bad off. His gait is heavy
and insecure, Il regular drunken reel
or stagger. AS to his speech, it is not
only incOherent and rambling, but he
has all of the phenomena of exhilara
tIon or excitement characteristic of the
earlier stages of intoXicatIon. His
ideas seem to flow rapidly, and all OF
the senses are wonderfully acute, but
there are the muscular trenlblings and
the actual stumbling gait of the drunk
ard. 1t is hopeless case ; Impossible
Ia cure. That boy, if he lives, will
have the continued appearance of
drunkenness and il cannot bc helped.
He is drunk, naturally drunk, and
though lac may become great scholar,
he will never OutgrOw this malady.'
Il is Il very rare case, and among its
features is the cold fact that alcohol in
any form or quantity acts on the child
like a poison.

Concerning American Yachts.
Boston Transcript.

If the sloOp Maytiower crosses the
Atlantic To sail against the fast British
yachts, rs il is now contemplated that
she shall do, her owners will make
very pleasing answer tn the cavils OF
the English critics of the Puritan and
May FLOWER, who alleged that both boats
were loosely built and unseawOrthy,
making sp ed in safe waters by their
very capacity tn strain and give under
the stress of sail, and that contests on
this side with such boats were unequal,
because English craft had tn be built
Ia sail across. People who know the
May flower have little doubt of her ta6il
ity to cross the ocean safely and once
there, few Americans would have Sc
Tious nisgiViDgs as To her ability to
ontsail the irex or any other fast cut
ter whose speed has yet been tested.

Profits of Sugar Making This Spring.
Brattleboro Phenir.

BratttebOrO PhneRiI.
The prospect that farmers will be-
come suddenly rich this spring from
the profits of maple sugar making is
rather poor. The deep snow is likely
to be great hindrance to work in
sugsu-tOts. A great quantity Of sugar
is seldom made when the snow is very
deep at the beginning of the season.
Besides, though it may pay Il good
profit to make maple sugar in such
form aud of such quality that il can be
sold to be used for purposes similar to
that which candy is used, or maple
syrup of such quality that it will sell
in competition with honey, the kind
that has tn be sold in competition with
cane sugar, now selling at retail at
from five to seven cents u pound, will
pay little, if any thing, above the cost
of making.
MIR. A. NJ. Foster of Cabot, large
manufacturer of maple sugar and syr-
up, after having kept au accurate ac-
count of all expenses for several years
says that the cost in one case when
the year was favorable was fraction
less than five cents IL pound, while in
one or two other years it cost him
nearly or quite twice that sum. He
estimated the fair average cost of max
ing sugar in large sugar orchards, fit
ted up with improved apparatus, at
seven aud one half cents IL pound.
This estimate was made few years
ago, when labor was a little higher
Than now.
Another farmer, who says he has
made IL pretty through investigation
of the expense of making maple sugar,
and who estimates wood ut 81 per cord
and labor ut what would be low rates
for the present season, finds the actual
cost OF making pound of sugar to be
six cents. The cost is prOpOrtionally
more on small sugar places than large
ones, and deep snow increases the
labor and generally diminishes the
product.

We have never taken mite of stock
in the theory that manure spread upon
snow on sIoping fields would not be
wasted. In support of our belief we
wish to refer To the fact that Professor
Roberts of Cornell University, has
made the following calculation. At Cor
nell there where 81 inches of rainfall
in the year. The barnyard is I00xlO0
feet, about of an acre. Every inch
of rain would make 100 tons for an
acre, or 1900 tons for the year to an
acre, or 500 tons for the barnyard. If
one half was leached out it would be
400 tons. Each ton of water leached out
would carry off GO cents worth of plant
food or $240 worth from the barnyard.
IT'S true, the inky streams run
ming from the barnyard down the
road, into the creek or on to the neigh
boris lot are the best part of the ma
nure. 1t is money running away. IL
this is true on bare unfrOzen ground,
how much more true must it be in the
reverse conditions. We would spread
manure on a light snow, on level
ground, but not otherwise, in winter.
